Ventsim/Deswik Integration

[Customer]

Our Mine is currently rebuilding the Deswik file.

 
As part of the rebuild, I would like to ensure that Deswik and Ventsim can be integrated (as much as possible).
 
Can you give me any idea about what attributes are required in Deswik CAD that makes the Ventsim integration smooth?
 
Not sure if you’re the person to speak to but if you can’t answer do you know someone that can answer?

 
Cheers,

Hi  

Deswik have made sure almost every Ventsim attribute can be mapped to Deswik if required.  The Deswik exporter allows you to link these attributes.

In most cases however at a minimum you may only need

Layers (primary and secondary for perhaps zone and type of airway)

Airways Sizes

Airway Profiles

Stages timing (if you want to export schedules)

 
You may need to ask Deswik for more instruction on how to do the above, but when they showed me it looked fairly simple.
This will allow you to export a Deswik design to a Ventsim file format that requires minimum changes in Ventsim.

Hi,

If it exports whole network with No Entry or No Exit errors is there a way to fix all errors automaticly or needs to be done manually airway by airway?

 

Best regards,

Hi Ivan, 

Yes, you can use the Error Box to select all the airways with errors on them and edit them together. In the image below, I have 36 errors. I click Select All and Edit on the Error Box and then I can select Close End on the Edit Box and apply the change to 36 airways with the one edit.
